The pursuit of love

 Love. Love is something we all desire. The airwaves are filled with love songs. We find love in movies and literature, and these stories appear so beautiful to us. The idea of love makes us feel good; just thinking about it awakens beautiful emotions in our hearts, and we wonder, "Why isn’t this my reality?" or "Why can't I find that kind of love?" Love begins to feel difficult to find the moment we start believing, "I deserve love." Do I deserve love? It sounds crazy for me to ask that, right? You might ask, "What do you mean?" Or you might say, "Of course you deserve love." But now, let me ask you: Why do you believe you deserve love? What is it about you that makes you worthy of being loved? You see, many times we say things without fully understanding their meaning—and as a result, we end up suffering. What does the word "deserve" really mean? The word "deserve," according to an online dictionary, means: 1. ...

True Riches

 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? (Luke 16:11) KJV New International Version So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? Would you want to be rich ? You may so know ,but truth is the majority of humankind would prefer to be rich then poor. And yet only a few people are rich while the rest are in the middle class or poor. Question? Which one would you rather be? 1. A farmer  2. A beggar I know the answer already. All of you would choose to be a farmer. Who in their right mind would want to be a beggar? A farmer provides to society and is a person who has resources; while a beggar, well, just begs and consumes. A farmer works hard to produce and provide, while a beggar waits for resources to be provided to him. One of the reasons rich people are few, is because it requires a lot of efforts to become rich. Supply chains While the beggar is waiti...

The healing virtue of love

 " And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. " KJV.Matthew 24:12. "Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold." NLT translation . Sin destroys the heart! Sin destroys love. The Bible calls sin the transgression of the law. What law? The law of God, the law of love. Sin, no matter how minute destroys something in our hearts and as sin increases in our lives, in the world around us, so does sufferings of all types. Sin is selfishness at work. Sin is the desire to exalt the self, to make the self feel better even at the cost of someone else. Selfishness is mainly concerned with "my happiness." Me,myself and I is the goal of sin.  Why do people commit sin ? We commit sin because we want to feel good, we want to feel loved, we want what's good for ourselves . What ? That's insane you say! Sin leads to death! How can anyone commit sin because they want to feel good? Isn't committing sin a bad thing ?...

In God's presence

 This life is full of trouble, sorrows and misery. From the moment we are born until the day we die we will experience trials and tribulations. It doesn't matter who you are, poor or rich, famous or unknown, smart or ignorant, woman or man, Christian or worldling, trouble will find you wherever you are. Our lives are short and full of troubles . Some people try to escape life's trouble through escapism, numbing the soul with a constant search for pleasure, seeking to make life a grand carnival.  But sadly, a life of pleasure seeking leads to more misery and emptiness, follow by depression and other mental griefs. Pleasures and escapism are not the way to engage life's problems. Others try to stand and fight life's problems face to face, but a lot of times it leads to them being angry and bitter .  Others seek peace by burying themselves in constant activities, working constantly and going from one thing to the next so they do not have time to reflect on the painful real...

America's " golden age."

  US president Donald Trump has promised a new golden age for America. A time of prosperity and pride. A time of greatness as we have never seen before. It all sounds good, for who wouldn't want prosperity, especially after the inflation, the high cost of living  we have been experiencing in the last four years ? US president Donald Trump has promised a new golden age for America. A time of prosperity and pride. A time of greatness as we have never seen before. It all sounds good, for who wouldn't want prosperity, especially after the inflation, the high cost of living  we have been experiencing in the last four years ? Who wouldn't want a "golden age?" The first question we must ask ourselves is how is a golden object made ? The two gold refining methods are: the Miller process and the Wohlwill process. The Miller process uses gaseous chlorine to extract impurities when gold is at a melting point; impurities separate into a layer on the surface of the molten puri...

The Divorce Pandemic

 "For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be." Matthew 24:39. Jesus said in the last days that marriage will consume the minds of many. Marriage has become some sort of idol to many. Many think that marriage will solve their lives' problems. But, with the increased idolatry of marriage has come increased divorces.  Many are getting married just to get divorced.  Divorce is on the increase because people don't understand what marriage is. People don't understand the nature of marriage. In order to understanding something, it is important to understand the mind of its author. God made marriage and marriage is about God. God is love and marriage is about the development of the love of God in our hearts. Love is other-centered. It is the desire to seek to please som...
